Hmm, up to now nobody hinted to some tools that are available and
freely distributable:


        bison++ & flex++
Adaptions of bison and flex to output C++ scanner/lexer classes.


        flex
The current version output C++ lexer clases.


        AUIS-bison & gentlex
The same as with bison++ & flex++.
From the Andrew folks.


        PCCTS
LL(k) parser generator that has a very nice integration of
C++. (Please note that I mentioned the other parser
generators first since you wrote the author did use yacc/lex
already.


Instead of giving several ftp sites, let me note on site where you get
(almost [*]) all of them:


ftp.th-darmstadt.de [130.83.55.75]
directory pub/programming/languages/compiler-compiler/


Some of these tools are not directly in this tree, but you'll get the
information where they are on this ftp site.


Enjoy,
Joachim




[*] gentlex is said to `be part of AUIS'. I was not able to locate it
in any AUIS distribution directory.
